Distractible baby:(

Any tips? My 3 month old has found...well everything. We've tried an udder cover, but she isn't phased. Once she starts looking around she pulls off, looks more, then cries until I sit her up. Then we eat more about 30 min later and same thing occurs. This routine goes on pretty much all morning. afternoon meals aren't this way. Afternoon and evening she's either all business or sleepy so it takes forever. Did this happen to your lo at 3ish months? Any tips?

I had to kick my husband out of the room around that time for feedings- no more conversations or him moving around!! Our best sessions are in a dim, quiet room- no cover as that becomes a bigger distraction. Side lying in bed works well before naps. Sometimes we also had shorter more frequent sessions- especially if we were out somewhere. He'd have a short top up and then a longer feed once home!

I agree with chirp. Shorter, more frequent nursing sessions work for us. I also happily nurse LO to sleep for naps and at night because it's the only time he really gets a good long nursing in! As LO gets older you will have to just find what works. My LO is almost 11mo and nursing in public just doesn't happen anymore because LO is too distracted!

I couldn't nurse my son anywhere but on a bed in a quiet dark room from 4-6 months. Finally at 7 months old he started growing out of it and now at 8.5 months old I can feed him sitting up, sometimes in public, and while having a conversation! My husband even said yesterday while I was nursing "look at him keep eating while you talk to me!" It was a rough 6 months but now it isn't too bad at all.

I take her in her room, dim the lights and turn on white noise. I've only been able to nurse her in private or the car, any other way she is too distracted. I'm proud to say I've managed this for 14 months so far! :)
